Revenge is highly condemned in civilized society. The holy books do not prescribe it either. However, man cannot put a leash on his instincts, no matter how cool headed he/she is. Some people take revenge instantaneously – like a word for a word, a slang for a slang or a slap for a slap. Some people wait for the opportune moment, which in some rare cases even takes years, but when they do come, give absolutely no room to the victim to recover. This is what I call “Hitting where it hurts most.”
There are many people who play with your emotions. They force you to become dependent on them through their deeds, and once you do get dependent, they ignore you. In the process you become cheap. Such things anger some people a lot. I have seen a person who had been going through exactly a similar situation, but he did not react initially. He absorbed all insults, and a few weeks later, turned the scenario upside down. The person who was giving him the pain was facing the pain this time, even to a greater extent.
The problem is however when the person who hurts you is very close to you. Sometimes in those cases you cannot hit back with a devil’s ferocity, but still I feel it is a shot worth trying. Revenge is not recommended at all, for you are always taught the virtues of tolerance and brotherhood by your parents. However, if you do decide to hit back some day after you have exhibited extreme tolerance, then do not react and shout. Plan, devise, contrive and then hit hard at the softest areas so that the other guy can really feel the pain and the insult that you had felt some day. God, please forgive me for saying so.
